It is early December, players to be protected from the Rule 5 draft have been added to 40 man rosters, non-tenders have been made, the Texas Rangers 40 man roster stands at 38, and so its a good time to do an update on the state of the Texas Rangers’ roster.
Specifically, I want to take a look at what the Opening Day roster would/could look like, based on who is currently here.
Position players:
C — Jose Trevino
1B — Ronald Guzman
2B — Nick Solak
3B —
SS — Isiah Kiner-Falefa
LF — Eli White
CF — Leody Taveras
RF — Joey Gallo
DH — Willie Calhoun
Bench — Aramis Garcia, Elvis Andrus, Rougned Odor, Scott Heineman
Optioned — David Garcia, Sam Huff, Sherten Apostel, Anderson Tejeda, Adolis Garcia
The optioned decisions are all pretty easy — David Garcia hasn’t played full season ball yet, and will probably start the year in either Hickory or Down East.
